KG Activity - Wild Life

Nature; the word itself is therapeutic. When we hear the word, I think of mountains and forests. Forests
and wildlife have been an important part of our growing up years, and now are one of our most
preferred places to visit.Wildlife as seen in forests and national parks is different from the pets and also
from the animals they see at the zoo. And these are facts that should be introduced at a young age to be
able to teach kids to respect wildlife. World Wildlife Day is celebrated each year on March 3. This is the

celebration of all wonderful wild animals.
ISWKi has taken an initiative to celebrate “World Wildlife Day”. The main purpose of the day is to raise
awareness and teach the learners to respect wildlife.
The event was held on Thursday (17.2.22)

Learners wrote their pledge about what they are going to do to save the Wildlife.
Learners dressed up, used soft toys and talked about different endangered animals.

Why should we bother to teach our kids to respect wildlife especially when there is so much to teach
them which has an impact on their growth and future?
Yes, this is a valid question. In times of availability of courses on foreign languages, coding classes, dance
and music, and many others, why should we focus on teaching about wildlife?.

Children who learn to respect nature, become conscious of their environment, and learn to appreciate
it. This is what builds the foundation of their love for nature and caring for it and ensuring its healthier
future.

Another very important reason why you should teach kids to respect wildlife is that kids who love
animals are bound to grow up to be more caring, considerate, and kinder. If kids can respect the space

and understand the needs of an animal who cannot speak, they are bound to be more empathetic
towards their peers. It is a known fact that kids learn better in nature.
